Location

We especially enjoyed the closeness to Old Town Lodi and the walkability of the charming neighborhood. Got a lot of relaxation time on the patio, too. We like to read at night and the cottage deserves a shout-out for the excellent interior lighting.

A Wonderful Place to Stay in Lodi

This was our first VRBO experience. It was wonderful! The place was clean and bright and just a delight to stay in. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there, and well organized. Our guests for the stay were also very impressed and happy with the experience.

Paradise!

Mimi's Downtown Cottage is a quaint, true-to-era cottage within walking distance of all the great shops, wine bars, breweries and restaurants in Lodi. It feels like a home away from home thanks to all the personal touches, including fresh flowers and games provided by Mimi. We hope to stay here again next time we are in the area! Thank you so much, Mimi.

We had a great stay at Mimi's. Cottage is really short walk to check out all the downtown wineries, restaurants and even breweries. She was a great host and even sent us a text with suggestions on things to do on a rainy day. Thank you Mimi we'll be back!

When my wife saw the house she said " I want to live here!"

My parents live in Lodi, I consider it my second home. We had to come up recently for my Mother's celebration of life. We decided not to stay with family, because of so many out of town visitors, and we just wanted a place of our own. Mimi's cottage was our sanctuary at a difficult time. The proximity to downtown Lodi is is perfect,yet the neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The cottage itself is beautiful,comfortable,and well appointed. I can't give high enough praise for Mimi's cottage. We'd love to stay there again, if Mimi would have us.

Location, Location, Location

The very best things about Mimi’s Cottage are it’s walking distance from downtown Lodi and the moderate cost. Add to this a charming atmosphere with well chosen antiques and comfortable furniture and what’s not to love? The outdoor space is private and nicely furnished. The kitchen is adequately furnished and stocked. The single bathroom between the two bedrooms is small, but it’s a small house. The tub/shower is standard sized and there is more than enough hot water. Mimi is an unobtrusive, attentive host. There are scads of local area magazines and maps to help you plan your stay. The downtown wineries are more than happy to hold wine purchases so you don’t have to carry them home if you’re walking. We use VRBO a lot and find Mimi’s Cottage a comfortable, welcoming place. And, man, does the location make it great.

My Mom wasn't sure at first about a house instead of a hotel. But now she is convinced this will be the must for our future visits together. And we know it is due to Mimi's wonderful cottage. Thank you, Wendy & Mom

Wonderful cottage

Three girlfriends met here to celebrate our October birthdays (annual event for the past 40 years). We loved this cottage and the town of Lodi! Walking distance to restaurants and the historic downtown. Cottage itself is clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Mimi is a great hostess, friendly and helpful.

Perfect Downtown Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming and well appointed cottage. Mimi was very responsive and helpful and the cottage was clean and comfortable. The location is great for walking to downtown and the Library is just across the street, which was helpful when we had to print out a document. Lodi was a great wine tasting area and we would highly recommend a visit.
